Spanish football coach dies of coronavirus

Spanish football coach Francisco Garcia has died from coronavirus - aged just 21.

The young man had worked with Malaga-based Atletico Portada Alta since 2016, managing their junior side.

Garcia was the fifth victim of the pandemic in the Malaga region but by far the youngest - with the others in their 70s or 80s.

However, the Spanish coach diagnosed with a form of leukemia after being taken to the hospital with symptoms of coronavirus.

The pre-existing condition cruelly affected his ability to fight off the virus.

It's thought Garcia could be the youngest person to die as a result of coronavirus - although a baby in the UK tragically contracted the disease last week.

Almost 300 people have died in Spain since the Covid-19 outbreak.
